Celebrating Excellence in the iGaming Industry

Being part of the iGaming industry for a decade and a half, we’ve witnessed all its numerous changes and updates. Day by day, our eyes have become sharper and intuition stronger, giving us the power to quickly spot both good and bad online casinos.

In cooperation with SIGMA, the leading platform for iGaming, betting, and esports industries, we’ve decided to establish LCB Awards, our very own signature event which acknowledges operators who go beyond excellence to provide unparalleled player experience. After the voting is finished, winners will be announced during a gala evening scheduled to take place in Malta.

This spectacular event gives brands all over to globe a chance to prove themselves worthy and earn badges for their outstanding services in 8 categories. Of course, players are given a unique opportunity to help us during the selection procedure and be rewarded for their contribution- we are talking valuable cash prizes!

A Closer Look at 8 Awards Categories

Every single effort to improve players’ experience is appreciated and should be rewarded. That’s, after all, what inspired the birth of LCB Awards.

Now, each casino has its own unique way and approach to achieving this, so those endeavors must be measured using different parameters, hence the multiple categories. Step by step, their most prominent virtues have emerged, which is what earned them a nomination in some of the following categories:

#1 Best Online Casino

Payouts finalized in a timely manner, customer support round the clock, a diversified content portfolio, and a solid assortment of bonuses and promotions are just some of the qualities a brand described as the “best online casino” needs to possess. Such an operator must go above and beyond to meet the players’ demands and even exceed them.

#2 Helping Hand

On multiple occasions, we like to remind you how important is to have transparent communication between players and casinos. That’s the only way to identify a problem on time and resolve it until it escalates into a truly unpleasant situation.

Versatile channels of communication (phone, live chat, e-mail), FAQ pages, and “Help” sections are basic tools to keep conversation smooth. Speaking of tools, a huge plus is if a casino is equipped with some options which can help players manage their gambling habits, such as deposit/loss limits, self-exclusion, max bet cap, reality check, and similar.

#3 Rising Star

Things seem to be much simpler for companies that have been operating in the industry for some time, aren’t they? Their name is familiar to the audience, so all they have to do is keep up the good work and make sure they stay reputable.

What about newbies?

This very category aims to recognize those who are working hard on establishing themselves as trustworthy brands from the very first day. Up and coming brands no older than 6 months have a unique chance to prove that they are online casinos worth checking out.

#4 Prime Perks

A great selection of games is what attracts players, but what keeps them coming for more are bonuses and promotions. Though not mandatory ingredients, these incentives certainly are the ones that make a significant difference between brands.

No deposit offers, casino spins, welcome bonuses, cashback bonuses, tournaments, giveaways, along with the Loyalty program and accompanying perks are just some of the ways to tell players they are appreciated. Of course, if they are accompanied by achievable wagering requirements and overall player-friendly rules.

#5 Live Dealer Games

Fans of the only genre that mimics the atmosphere of land-based casinos know how difficult is to find quality and immersive live dealer games. Operators who have put efforts to equip their portfolios with at least five software providers specialized in developing live casino games qualify for this category.

#6 Members Choice

Nothing can beat the power of genuine player experience, which is why one category is dedicated to operators selected by punters based on their preferences and impressions. First-hand experience is the most valuable resource of info to potential players during the selection procedure.

Due to great interest in the awards and contest, the LCB team has decided to introduce additional award titles. The following two award categories will be granted in recognition of excellent online slot games and top-quality live dealer software brands.

#7 Pit Boss

As the popularity of live dealer casino games is growing at the speed of light, it doesn’t come as a surprise that developers are putting maximal efforts to deliver extraordinary content.

Do note that multiple factors were taken into account during the selection procedure, such as graphics and design, interface options and layout, camera work and angles, type of games, dealers, player modes, and so on.

#8 Spin Me Round

Slots are one of the best fields to express creativity in terms of themes, gameplay, features, mechanics, and payout potential. The listed games are indeed the best of the best, confirming that no limits in content development exist.
